2 Wheel mode vs 4 Auto and mpg

No, the disconnect happens at the front diff. So when you're in Auto 4WD, it is connected and everything is spinning up front (ready for transfer case to engage clutch plates). But when you're in 2WD, my understanding is the CAD is disconnected and only the outer front axle shafts are moving.
Thanks for taking the time to explain it Speedy. I also helped myself by learning about center axle disconnect, and what it actually is LOL.
 
Mines been in 4auto for two years, avg 14mpg combined, have had 21mpg on cross country road trips. Remote starts durning winter months is where my avg drops to 13.9 combined.
